Gale Wolf: "Nonsense, of course I want to, or do you have a way?"

Yang Lingtian: "Of course, but I need you to help me win this match, and I can give you back your freedom."

Whirlwind Tiger: "Kid, are you bragging? Do you really have that much ability looking like that?"

Yang Lingtian: "Just the fact that I know your beast language skill alone, isn't my ability big enough?"

Gale Wolf: "Then tell me, how can you give us back our freedom?"

Yang Lingtian: "It's simple, I have the antidote to this Beast Control Pill. After you win the bet for me, I'll find a chance to give you the antidote."

"After the Myriad Beast Gathering ends, when there are fewer people, you can just escape."

"I know they aren't worried about you escaping because you've all been fed the Beast Control Pill."

"So, the ones guarding you are just some low-level Qi Refining cultivators; they're no match for you at all. It's easy to escape."

Gale Wolf and Whirlwind Tiger looked at each other, feeling that what Yang Lingtian said made sense.

Although they weren't sure if Yang Lingtian really had the antidote, what if he did? That would be a chance to regain their freedom.

Ignoring the Beast Tamer's instructions would at most result in a beating.

Gale Wolf: "Alright, I'll believe you for now."

Whirlwind Tiger: "Since Brother Wolf agrees, I'll take a gamble too. Tell me, who do you want to win and who do you want to lose?"

Yang Lingtian didn't expect these two demon beasts to be so simple-minded that they actually agreed.

Although he could refine such an antidote Spirit Elixir, he didn't have any on hand right now.

He wouldn't be able to give them the antidote after the competition.

However, he did say he would give them the antidote, but he didn't say he would give it to them immediately after the competition.

He could only refine it later and find a chance to give them the antidote.

Yang Lingtian: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Gale Wolf. Let Whirlwind Tiger win."

Huang Hao saw Yang Lingtian dawdling over there for a while and became a little impatient.

He shouted, "Young Master Yang, how long are you going to watch? Time is running out; we're about to close the betting."

Yang Lingtian was speaking to the demon beasts in a low voice, so Huang Hao and the others basically didn't hear him.

Even if they did hear him, it wouldn't matter since they didn't understand beast language.

After Yang Lingtian discussed it with the demon beasts, he walked back to Huang Hao's side unhurriedly.

He said with a slight smile, "What's the rush? You said the minimum bet is 500,000 Spirit Stones, so I'll give you some face. How about betting one million Spirit Stones?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned again.

Betting one million, that's too daring.

The bets on the two demon beasts on the betting board were only slightly over one million each.

To double it right away is simply a huge gamble.

If he really bet one million Low-grade Spirit Stones, then the betting money for this match would be the highest of all the matches today.

Huang Hao was also taken aback. He originally thought Yang Lingtian would only dare to bet low, but he didn't expect him to dare to directly call out one million Spirit Stones.

However, he was happy to see this happen.

Huang Hao smiled and said, "Good, very good, then let's bet one million Spirit Stones. Which demon beast are you betting on to win?"

Yang Lingtian smiled faintly, "I bet Whirlwind Tiger wins."

Then he walked to the betting board and directly took out one million Spirit Stones to bet on Whirlwind Tiger to win.

"Alright, then I'll bet on Gale Wolf to win." Huang Hao also took out one million Spirit Stones to bet.

Such a huge gamble immediately attracted more people to watch.

"Heavens, there's actually someone who dares to bet one million Spirit Stones all at once."

"Who is that person who dares to bet against Young Master Huang Hao?"

"Young Master Huang Hao is from the Huang Family and knows his own demon beasts very well. To dare to bet against Young Master Huang Hao, is that person out of their mind?"

"Young Master Huang Hao will definitely win. Let's follow Young Master Huang Hao and bet too; we can earn some small money."

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up; there are only a few minutes left before the betting closes."

Everyone was optimistic about Huang Hao and followed him to bet.

Even those who had previously bet on Whirlwind Tiger to win withdrew their bets and bet on Gale Wolf to win instead.

As a result, the odds went from 1 to 1 to 1 to 3.

That is to say, there were only 1.2 million Low-grade Spirit Stones bet on Whirlwind Tiger to win, while the bets on Gale Wolf to win reached 3.6 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

This also meant that if Yang Lingtian won the bet, he would not only get back his 1 million principal but also win 3 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

It was simply a huge profit, which made Yang Lingtian feel very happy.

However, he was also slightly worried, wouldn't these two demon beasts go back on their word halfway through?

But Yang Lingtian still believed that these two demon beasts definitely couldn't resist the temptation of freedom and would help him.

At this moment, the Beast Tamer came out and looked towards Huang Hao's side.

Huang Hao also looked at the Beast Tamer and gave him a look of instruction.

Yang Lingtian's eyes were fixed on the Beast Tamer, wanting to see what he would do.

Sure enough, he saw the Beast Tamer make a peculiar gesture with his hand.

Then he saw the Gale Wolf and Whirlwind Tiger nod their heads.

It seemed that this peculiar gesture represented the instructions for who would win or lose.

Soon after, the demon beast battle officially began.

The Gale Wolf launched the first attack, gathering a powerful airflow in its mouth, like a tornado rushing towards the Whirlwind Tiger.

The Whirlwind Tiger didn't panic; it suddenly leaped and somersaulted in the air, cleverly dodging the attack.

The two demon beasts fought fiercely from the start, not acting at all, as if it were a real life-or-death battle.

The shouts from outside the arena were constant, most of them cheering for the Gale Wolf.

After all, most people bet on the Gale Wolf to win.

Huang Hao stood calmly in place, looking like he was bound to win.

As the two demon beasts continued to fight fiercely, the atmosphere outside the arena became more and more tense.

Up to now, the battle between the two demon beasts was still evenly matched, and it was impossible to tell which one would win.

The two demon beasts began to roar, but only Yang Lingtian could understand what they were shouting.

Gale Wolf: "Is it about time I deliberately lost?"

Whirlwind Tiger: "I think it's about time too. I'll unleash a big move later, and you deliberately get knocked away by me. Make it look real."

Gale Wolf: "Understood, understood. I'm going all out for the antidote."

Hearing this, the corners of Yang Lingtian's mouth slightly raised. It seemed that these two demon beasts still chose to believe him.

Soon, in a fierce attack by the Whirlwind Tiger, the Gale Wolf was fiercely knocked away.

Finally, it fell to the ground and couldn't get up, obviously the Whirlwind Tiger had won.

Instantly, everyone outside the arena was stunned and became silent.

Especially Huang Hao, who looked incredulous.

"How is this possible? Did the Beast Tamer give the wrong instructions?" Huang Hao muttered to himself.

Then there was an uproar, and many people couldn't believe it.

"What's going on? The Gale Wolf actually lost."

In fact, a small number of these people knew that there was something fishy about this demon beast fight, but they didn't say it explicitly.

They knew that the Huang Family could specify in advance which demon beast would win, but it didn't have much impact on them.

It just changed from betting on which demon beast would win to betting on which demon beast the Huang Family's Beast Tamer would specify to win, not a big deal.

But this time, Young Master Huang Hao personally placed a bet, so in theory, he would definitely specify the demon beast that Young Master Huang Hao bet on to win.

The fact that such a result occurred left some people puzzled.

The Beast Tamer also came out, and he was also surprised by this result.

He clearly instructed the Gale Wolf to win, so why didn't these two demon beasts act according to his instructions?

While everyone was still in shock, Yang Lingtian let out a victorious laugh.

"Hahaha, Young Master Huang Hao, thank you for your bet, it made me a fortune."

Huang Hao's face was uncertain, and he questioned, "What exactly did you do when you went to the demon beasts before the fight?"

"Young Master Huang Hao, are you suspecting that I cheated?" Yang Lingtian asked back.

"If I really had the ability to cheat, so many people present would be watching, and it would definitely be seen."

"Could it be that the people present are all blind?"

"You..." Huang Hao was speechless.

Yang Lingtian continued, "I was observing them just now. Although these two demon beasts seem to have similar strength."

"But after taking a closer look, I discovered that the Gale Wolf had a hidden illness in its body, so I dared to bet that it would lose."

After Yang Lingtian said that, many people in the arena felt that it made sense.

It made some people even more convinced that Yang Lingtian's eyesight was too sharp.

Of course, this was a reason that Yang Lingtian made up.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he had to get close to the demon beasts. Saying this made it seem reasonable.

Now, Huang Hao's anger had nowhere to vent. One million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Just like that, it was gone. His heart was bleeding.

This was equivalent to his entire year's allowance, gone in an instant.

Li Tian, on the other hand, happily pocketed the more than three million Spirit Stones he had won, plus his one million principal. [website link removed] In order to avoid losing content, download: [website link removed] Please come and experience the ad-free reading app.

Now possessing four million Low-grade Spirit Stones, he could be considered somewhat wealthy.

Some families don't even make four million Low-grade Spirit Stones in a year.

Huang Hao glared fiercely at Yang Lingtian, wondering how to get his revenge and vent his anger.

At this moment, the Whirlwind Tiger was roaring, and in people's eyes, it was celebrating its victory.

However, in Yang Lingtian's ears, he knew that the Whirlwind Tiger was urging him to quickly give it the antidote.

Yang Lingtian stepped forward and responded softly in beast language, "Don't worry, you'll get it. There are too many people around right now, it's not convenient. Wait a little longer, and I'll come find you."

The Whirlwind Tiger became somewhat enraged upon hearing these words and continued to roar, "You don't want to give us the antidote, do you?"

"If you don't give it to us now, what if you run away after we leave the arena? As expected, humans are all cunning."

Just then, the system's voice sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for winning over 2 million Low-grade Spirit Stones, completing the task. A Spirit Elixir gift pack is hereby awarded.]

What the heck, a Spirit Elixir gift pack?

Yang Lingtian discovered upon inspection that there were many types of Spirit Elixirs in this gift pack.

It even contained the Beast Clearing Pill, which could remove the effects of the Beast Control Pill – in other words, the antidote.

This system is truly amazing; it gives him whatever he needs.

Yang Lingtian calmed his joyful mood and once again communicated softly with the two demon beasts in beast language.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you now. Whirlwind Tiger, come a little closer."

The Whirlwind Tiger walked over with some suspicion, revealing a wary look in its eyes.

Yang Lingtian looked around, and then two Beast Clearing Pills appeared in his hand.
