Dare You Gamble Again

From the stands, Wang Hua squinted, observing the center of the training ground, or perhaps the ring in the center of the training ground.

Ever since Wang Hua lost his bet to Zhou En, he had always believed Zhou En only won against Yue Hua through external help.

However, after hearing that Zhou En had taken down more than thirty of Li Hui's brothers single-handedly outside of school, Wang Hua was deeply shocked.

He then understood that Zhou En's victory over Yue Hua was entirely due to his own strength.

This made Wang Hua, who knew the truth, find it hard to believe. In front of Zhou En, it was as if all previous common sense no longer applied.

This time, Wang Hua came to watch Zhou En's match again.

Wang Hua didn't believe Zhou En could win this time, and he had heard the reason.

The gap between veterans and newcomers isn't easily bridged.

At least, Wang Hua didn't think Zhou En could bridge it.

This time, he had also looked at the gambling pool.

The odds were the same as last time, but the opponent had changed to Li Hui.

The odds were ten to one for lasting one minute against Li Hui.

The odds were twenty to one for lasting two minutes against Li Hui.

The odds were thirty to one for lasting three minutes against Li Hui.

Wang Hua was convinced he would make a huge profit.

"Welcome, juniors, for taking time out of your busy schedules to watch this World Combat Club official team member selection match."

On the commentary stage, Zhang Li wore a gentle and approachable smile.

It seemed Zhang Li was present at every match on campus. It wasn't without reason that she was scouted by a company in her third year.

"Then, before the match, I will briefly introduce the situation to everyone."

"This selection for official team members aims to select the top five official members."

"The competition will be held in two rounds. The first round is a point-based ranking for all bench trainees. One point for a win, no points for a loss or a draw."

"In the second round, the top five will qualify to challenge any of the current five official members. If they win, they can take that person's place and become an official member."

Hearing this explanation, the crowd began to discuss.

"Isn't that unfair to the official members who are ranked lower?"

"Haha, you don't understand. This selection match is meant to eliminate the weaker official members."

"The weakest among the official members seems to be Li Hui, right?"

"Heh, Li Hui is part of the Iron Blood Gang. Do you dare to mess with him?"

In the lounge, Zhou En could faintly hear Zhang Li's voice. He had the strength to rank in the top five in the first round of this selection match.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou En understood that thinking about anything else or doing anything else was useless. Only by giving his all was there a sliver of hope.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Just treat it like your usual training," Liu Yu said, clapping his hands.

"Creak."

At this moment, the door was quietly pushed open.

A person poked their head in cautiously.

"Excuse me, is Zhou En here?" the person asked Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was a little surprised but nodded, gesturing towards Zhou En.

Zhou En was a bit confused but still got up and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out of the lounge, the clamor from the arena surged towards Zhou En's ears like waves.

Zhou En glanced at the student in front of him, and his mind instantly recalled the relevant memory.

Wang Hua, the person who set up the gambling pool during his match with Yue Hua. It was precisely because of Wang Hua's gambling pool that he had won a thousand yuan.

"What do you want with me?" Zhou En asked. Because of the loud noise outside, he had to shout to be heard.

Wang Hua smiled.

"Zhou En, do you want to make some money again?" His voice was clearly filled with temptation.

Zhou En shook his head, indicating he wasn't interested.

"You bet on yourself to win, and I'll still offer odds of one to one hundred. How about it? If you win, you'll earn ten times the money. It's a great deal, right?"

Being able to say this proved that Wang Hua was truly unwilling to accept his previous loss.

He wanted to win it back this time. If he won, Zhou En wouldn't make much money, but if he lost, he would lose all his future pocket money.

Wang Hua had endured great pain in making this decision. What drove Wang Hua to make this decision was his belief that Zhou En couldn't possibly win.

Zhou En chuckled and said faintly, "Do you think I'll fall for your tricks again this time?"

Damn it, don't treat me like an idiot.

"Heh, Zhou En, even you yourself have no confidence in winning the match? Then you might as well go back and repeat the year!"

This sentence stabbed deep into Zhou En's heart like a sharp thorn.

Zhou En gritted his teeth.

"Fine, I agree to bet with you."

Wang Hua chuckled and asked, "How much are we betting?"

Zhou En hesitated for a moment, then finally transferred the three thousand yuan he had snatched from the thug to Wang Hua.

"Remember, if I win, you owe me thirty thousand."

Seeing so much money, Wang Hua's mouth nearly split into a grin. He repeatedly agreed.

Wang Hua was confident he would make back his capital with profit this time.

The deal was thus happily concluded.

"Alright, I'm heading back," Zhou En announced. Without waiting for Wang Hua's reply, he walked directly towards the lounge.

"Okay, I've roughly explained the rules and participants for everyone. Now, please welcome the members of the World Combat Club to the stage."

Zhang Li took a sip of water and said in a gentle voice.

The club's bench trainees entered one by one, then walked to their respective rings under the coach's instructions.

Since the first round implemented a point system and had many matches, five bouts were conducted simultaneously.

Zhou En wasn't worried about the first round at all. As long as he took it seriously, he could secure a spot in the top five even without using the Sun Character Consecutive Fist.

As the coach's whistle blew, the bench trainees began to fight their opponents with all their might.

Zhou En, being one of the most likely candidates for official team member, naturally had considerable strength.

He had expected his opponent to surrender meekly just by seeing him on the stage, but this person was arrogantly shouting.

"You're Zhou En, right? Your ultimate move has been exposed, and you still have the nerve to compete? If I were you, I'd hide in my pants."

"What? You want to hit me? I'm telling you, I already know the weakness of the Sun Character Consecutive Fist. If you dare to come over, I guarantee I'll beat you so badly your own grandfather won't recognize you."

The young man seemed oblivious to Zhou En's darkening expression and continued to taunt him.

The whistle had already blown, but before Zhou En and the young man could start fighting, they had already attracted a lot of attention.

"Huh, who is that guy?"

"That's Zhou En, the one who only knows the Sun Character Consecutive Fist."

"Haha, after his ultimate move was figured out, even a mere bench trainee dares to challenge him. He's really fallen from grace."

"Do you think Zhou En will accept the challenge from that bench trainee?"
