Attracting Attention

Soon, the fights began, and once they started, bets could no longer be placed or withdrawn.

At first, the two demon beasts fought evenly, but gradually, the scrawny demon beast began to gain the upper hand.

This made those who had bet on the sturdy demon beast to win feel nervous.

"What's going on? How could that scrawny demon beast possibly be gaining the upper hand?"

"Don't worry, it's just that the scrawny demon beast has a speed advantage at the start, so it's ahead for now."

"Once the scrawny demon beast runs out of stamina, the sturdy demon beast will definitely make a comeback," someone explained.

Clearly, many people thought so.

Yang Lingtian, standing to the side, smiled faintly.

In the tense atmosphere, the two demon beasts fought fiercely for half an hour.

Suddenly, the scrawny demon beast leaped up and kicked the sturdy demon beast away with extreme speed.

With a bang, the sturdy demon beast fell to the ground, unable to get up, and let out a miserable cry.

Sturdy demon beast: "Damn it, can you be gentler? Your kick really hurts like hell."

Scrawny demon beast: "It's acting! You have to make it look real."

Of course, only Yang Lingtian could understand the demon beasts' conversation.

At that moment, the entire arena was silent, followed by an uproar.

Everyone looked at the scene in the arena in astonishment, many unable to believe their eyes.

"The scrawny demon beast actually won!"

At this moment, everyone looked at Yang Lingtian, their eyes filled with envy.

They hadn't expected Yang Lingtian to have such sharp eyes, able to see that the scrawny demon beast would win.

Of course, some people thought that Yang Lingtian was just lucky, a blind cat finding a dead mouse, and had just made the right bet.

After the match, Yang Lingtian also successfully obtained the Spirit Stones.

In less than an hour, he had earned ninety thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Yang Lingtian was overjoyed. This place was simply a treasure trove tailored for him to make money!

Afterward, he continued to place bets in various large and small demon beast arenas.

Of course, not all demon beast arenas had shady dealings. If they all did, the Huang Family would be afraid of being discovered.

But ultimately, a small portion of the fights had behind-the-scenes manipulations.

To ensure a sure win, Yang Lingtian also specifically chose demon beast arenas with shady dealings to place his bets.

He would only bet after confirming which demon beast would win from their conversation.

It was simply unfailing. In half a day, he had earned a full one million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

However, this also attracted the attention of others. Some people noticed that Yang Lingtian won every bet.

These people followed Yang Lingtian's bets, causing the odds to plummet, and the Spirit Stones they could win became less.

He wanted to bet all his Spirit Stones at once.

But that would make the odds even lower, and in the end, he wouldn't win much more, and it would attract even more attention.

Sure enough, Yang Lingtian's constant betting and winning attracted the attention of the Huang Family.

On a high platform, a person dressed in luxurious robes was listening to a report from his subordinate.

"Patriarch, there's a young man who's very strange. We've discovered that he wins every demon beast fight he bets on."

"What? There's actually someone like that? Have you found out what his background is?"

Huang Qi asked in surprise, his eyes as deep as the sea, giving people a sense of oppression.

This was a temperament formed from being in a high position for a long time.

The subordinate replied, "According to our simple investigation, this person is just a Bronze level mercenary, and doesn't seem to have any special background."

"This boy is interesting. Alright, go and have my son Huang Hao meet him. I still have some old friends to entertain."

"Yes!"

On Yang Lingtian's side, just as he was about to place a bet, a voice interrupted him.

"Hold on, are you Yang Xiangtian?"

A young man walked over, accompanied by several subordinates.

This person was Huang Hao, who had learned this false name after his subordinates' investigation.

Yang Lingtian turned his head to look at Huang Hao, sizing him up.

"That's right, what do you want?"

Huang Hao said with a smile, "I've heard that Young Master Yang has sharp eyes."

"It's said that you can accurately tell which demon beast will win, so I'd like to gamble with you."

Yang Lingtian said expressionlessly, "If you want to bet, just place your bet directly. There's no need to tell me."

"But if you want to bet with me privately, I won't accept it. My time is precious, and I don't have time to play with you."

"How can you talk like that? This is Huang Hao, the son of the Huang Family's patriarch." Huang Hao's subordinate beside him was the first to get anxious.

"How dare you speak to my Young Master in such a tone?"

He still said with a smile hiding a dagger, "Of course, I will also place a bet."

"But these bets are too small, only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones."

"Why don't we go to the second-tier demon beast arena and bet again?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Lingtian knew that this was Huang Hao's conspiracy.

There are dedicated Beast Tamers in the second-tier demon beast arena.

Wouldn't the Beast Tamer be able to signal which second-tier demon beast would win or lose through unique means?

In that case, wouldn't he be bound to lose?

Seeing Yang Lingtian's hesitation, Huang Hao provoked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid?"

"Aren't you very powerful, winning every time? Are you scared of losing now?"

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

[The strong need to constantly acquire cultivation resources. A limited-time mission is now released: Gamble against Huang Hao and win over 2 million Spirit Stones.]

Yang Lingtian was about to refuse, but good heavens, the system actually issued a mission.

In order to complete the mission, Yang Lingtian had no choice but to accept.

"Okay, I'll bet with you!" Yang Lingtian responded.

"Hahaha, as expected, you have guts, then follow me." Huang Hao was still smiling.

But at this moment, he was scheming in his heart, looking like he was bound to win.

Hmph, this time I will not only make you lose all the Spirit Stones you won, but also make you lose all the Spirit Stones you brought with you.

Soon, he was brought to the second-tier demon beast arena area, which only the wealthier people would come to.

Each arena here was built very large, and the surrounding iron nets were very thick.

All kinds of surrounding walls were also made very strong.

After all, this second-tier demon beast is comparable to a Foundation Establishment expert.

The power of the battle is enormous, and necessary architectural protection must be done well.

As expected of a second-tier demon beast betting arena, the total bet for each match is no less than one million.

You wouldn't dare to bet here without some capital.

"Young Master Yang, you choose which arena to bet on, so you don't say I'm cheating." Huang Hao said hypocritically.

Yang Lingtian didn't speak, but walked towards the nearest arena.

"Let's go with this one." Yang Lingtian responded.

This arena will pit a demon beast called Gale Wolf against a demon beast called Whirlwind Tiger.

The Gale Wolf looks tall and sturdy, with developed muscles.

The pair of sharp fangs on its mouth make it look even more ferocious.

And the Whirlwind Tiger's pair of claws appear extremely sharp.

It seems that with just a slight wave, it can tear apart hard rocks.

These are two early-stage second-tier demon beasts, and it is difficult to tell which one is stronger before the fight.

So the odds for both demon beasts are about 1 to 1.

At this time, Yang Lingtian heard the conversation between the two demon beasts.

Gale Wolf: "Why hasn't the Beast Tamer given the order on who should lose yet!"

Whirlwind Tiger: "Could it be that there are no instructions, and we have to decide the outcome ourselves?"

From the demon beasts' conversation, Yang Lingtian still didn't know which demon beast would win.

Just as he was thinking about how to bet, Huang Hao had already begun to urge him.

"Young Master Yang, hurry up and place your bet. I'll give you the opportunity to choose first, and the bet amount cannot be less than 500,000 Spirit Stones."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who heard it was surprised.

No less than 500,000, this bet is big enough.

Although the bets on the field have already reached more than one million, that is the sum of dozens of people betting together.

On average, each person bets less than 100,000, and 500,000 is indeed a big gamble.

Yang Lingtian didn't respond, and was still observing the conversation between the demon beasts.

At this moment, someone stoked the flames, saying, "He's trying to back out at the last minute. He doesn't dare to bet such a large amount."

"Yeah, I bet he doesn't even have that many Spirit Stones to bet with."

Seeing Yang Lingtian remain silent, Huang Hao was also worried that he wouldn't dare to bet.

"Young Master Yang, what do you say? Hurry up and decide; there are only ten minutes left to place your bets."

Yang Lingtian hadn't gleaned any useful information from the demon beasts' conversation, which made him feel like he had no confidence.

He really didn't want to do things he wasn't confident about!

Then, an idea struck him, and he said, "These two demon beasts seem evenly matched. I need to get closer and observe carefully to see who is stronger."

"Young Master Huang doesn't mind wasting these few minutes, right?"

Huang Hao's expression froze. He hadn't expected Yang Lingtian to make such a request.

What was the point of getting closer to look?

In the end, he would still lose to him, so Huang Hao agreed to this seemingly useless request.

"Alright, you can go ahead and take a closer look, just don't forget to come back and place your bet."

Yang Lingtian slowly approached the arena, came to the fence, and got close to the two demon beasts.

He softly communicated with the two demon beasts in beast language, "Hello, esteemed demon beast brothers!"

This really startled the two demon beasts, who looked at Yang Lingtian with surprised eyes.

Gale Wolf: "Was that you speaking, kid?"

Whirlwind Tiger: "That's right, the voice came from this kid. I didn't expect that someone from the human race would know our beast language!"

Yang Lingtian smiled slightly and continued to speak softly in beast language, "It's me, esteemed demon beast brothers. I have a favor to ask!"

Gale Wolf: "No need to say it, you want us to fix the match, right?"

Whirlwind Tiger: "Don't even think about it; we can't fix matches."

Yang Lingtian: "Esteemed brothers, I know you are waiting for the Beast Tamer's instructions."

"I'm just very puzzled. Why do you listen to the Beast Tamer's instructions? Are you willing to submit to the Huang Family?"

Gale Wolf: "Alas, it's a long and tearful story. What can we do if we're unwilling now? We can't escape."

Whirlwind Tiger: "That's right. They used a special mist to make us lose our minds back then."

"In the end, we were brought back and forced to take the Beast Control Pill, which led to us being controlled."

Yang Lingtian finally understood that the core of the Huang Family's Beast Taming technique lay in using medicine!

He continued to speak in beast language, "Esteemed brothers, do you want freedom?"
