The person greeting Lu Feng was none other than Zhao Chang, the principal of Third Martial Arts High School—the same petty man who had forcibly reassigned his Martial University slot to Zheng Tong.
Zhao Chang, sporting his bald crown hairstyle, looked at Lu Feng with surprise.
In his memory, this student came from an ordinary family. Where did he get the money to frequent a high-consumption place like the Beast Fighting Arena?
Lu Feng, however, only gave him a cold glance, too lazy to even reply, and turned to walk into the venue.
"Brat, what kind of attitude is that!" Zhao Chang couldn't help cursing under his breath.
He was, after all, a school principal, and the other party hadn't even bothered to greet him.
But on second thought, the school had erased the kid's slot, so they were somewhat in the wrong, and he didn't feel like making an issue of it.
As luck would have it, not long after Lu Feng entered and found his seat, Zhao Chang also came over and sat down right next to him.
The two had bought their tickets one after the other, and their seats happened to be adjacent.
Zhao Chang shot Lu Feng a cold glance, and they silently agreed not to speak, waiting quietly for the match to begin.
Time quickly arrived at five o'clock sharp.
On the central arena platform, after the host finished his usual opening remarks, two warriors led out two exotic beasts from the north and south gates respectively, stepping into the arena.
The first match was still a pair of Tier 2 Exotic Beasts.
Lu Feng looked at them, but just like last time, there was no burning sensation in his chest, nor any influx of energy.
This was something he still couldn't figure out—why couldn't beasts below Tier 3 provide energy?
At least he could still fully control these two beasts.
Lu Feng picked up the betting device and unhesitatingly placed a bet on "draw."
The minimum single bet was one hundred thousand Star Martial Coins. This money was the dividend Hong Tiejun had given him when he first brought him to the Beast Fighting Arena, and today he was using it as his starting capital.
Seeing him bet on the first match, Zhao Chang couldn't help shooting him a disdainful glance.
Sure enough, an inexperienced poor student—betting right away, definitely his first time in a place like this.
But when he saw that Lu Feng had actually bet on "draw," he couldn't help blurting out:
"Kid, are you stupid and rich? Betting on a draw?"
The probability of a draw was probably less than one percent; almost no one bet on it.
This kid's hundred thousand was guaranteed to go down the drain.
Lu Feng still ignored him, focusing entirely on the two beasts on the arena.
After they were injected with the Rage Agent, he immediately began using his ability to alternately control the movements of both beasts.
Under his intervention, the two beasts kept wearing each other down until they were completely exhausted and both collapsed dead.
Seeing this, Zhao Chang was instantly dumbfounded.
Even after the host loudly announced the "draw" result, he still couldn't snap out of it.
This kid... had actually hit it?
A draw!
Ten times the odds!!!
What had he missed?
If he had followed Lu Feng's bet just now, he would have made a killing tonight!
As the result was announced, the screen on Lu Feng's betting device displayed a line of text—[Bet successful, prize money transferred to payment account].
His account balance instantly became one million.
The second match began quickly.
Zhao Chang kept sneaking glances at Lu Feng from the corner of his eye. Seeing him bet on "draw" again, and this time directly wagering five hundred thousand, he was inwardly shocked.
Is this kid crazy?
Betting on a draw again?
Did he know the result in advance?
Impossible.
The matches were always fair, the results depended entirely on the beasts' strength, and winning or losing was pure luck—that was the Beast Fighting Arena's consistent claim.
Even if there were inside information, how could a poor student like Lu Feng possibly know about it?
After all, everyone knew that behind the Beast Fighting Arena was the Alliance military; even high-ranking government officials couldn't know the inside story.
"That last round must have been this kid's luck," Zhao Chang consoled himself.
He turned to look at the two new beasts on stage and ultimately didn't follow Lu Feng, instead betting on the larger one.
Over ten minutes later, the second match ended—the result was still a draw.
Lu Feng's account gained another five million.
"You... how did you actually do it?"
Zhao Chang could no longer sit still. He stared at Lu Feng in disbelief. "Can you really predict the match results?"
Lu Feng looked up at him, and a mischievous thought suddenly popped into his head.
"Principal, how could I possibly predict the results?" He leaned in close to the other's ear and said in a low voice. "It's just... I have inside information."
"Really?" Zhao Chang's spirits lifted at once, and he pressed urgently, "What's the result of the next match?"
"The next match is another draw."
"Are you serious or not?"
Three draws in a row—just hearing it sounded impossible.
"Forget it if you don't believe me." Lu Feng pretended not to care, turning his head away and ignoring him.
When the third Exotic Beast took the stage, Lu Feng once again pulled out his betting device and, right in front of Zhao Chang, placed another bet on a draw.
But... this time he only bet a hundred thousand.
Seeing the Youngster place his bet without hesitation, Zhao Chang began to waver.
If the information was real, this was a chance at a windfall.
If he missed it again, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Chang finally steeled himself and put his entire Savings on the "draw" option.
If the bet succeeded, this one round would win him money he could never earn in a lifetime, and he'd never have to worry about food or clothing again.
Yet a Few Minutes later, only one Exotic Beast lay fallen on the arena floor.
Zhao Chang stood frozen like an idiot until the Host announced the result, then he snapped back to reality and glared at Lu Feng with eyes blazing like fire:
"Kid! You set me up?"
"Principal, what are you talking about?" Lu Feng looked completely bewildered.
"Didn't you say you had inside info? Old Man bet one point five million..."
He was practically roaring, drawing the stares of the surrounding audience.
Zhao Chang, utterly disregarding the onlookers, suddenly stood up and pointed at Lu Feng: "If you don't pay me back this money, Old Man will kill you..."
He seemed to have completely lost his mind, his voice growing louder and louder.
In the Beast Fighting Arena, people who had lost everything were a dime a dozen. Staff quickly Arrived, grabbed Zhao Chang, and dragged him out.
"Let me go! I'll kill this bastard..."
His struggling voice faded into the distance.
Lu Feng shot a cold glance in the direction he'd been dragged off, sneering inwardly: Greedy himself, and now he blames others—serves him right to lose it all.
When the fourth match began, he once again bet five hundred thousand on a draw.
Without Zhao Chang's interference, Lu Feng focused entirely on the arena, continuously absorbing the energy of the two Exotic Beasts.
Until the mark on his chest was filled, and the beasts, weakened, lost their combat ability, forcing the Beast Fighting Arena to declare another draw.
Amid the curses of tens of thousands of spectators, Lu Feng's account gained another five million, successfully elevating him to the ranks of a ten-millionaire.
Afterward, he stood up and left.
Lu Feng understood very well that nothing should be taken too far.
Although he could manipulate the matches, winning too much in one night would inevitably draw the attention of the Beast Fighting Arena.
Knowing when to quit was a realization most gamblers could never reach.
But he had no idea that backstage at the Beast Fighting Arena, a Staff member was staring at the computer data in terror:
"Four matches, three draws... this guy actually called all of them!"
Such an unbelievable situation made him almost think he was hallucinating.
He hurriedly reported this matter to the Senior Officials.
