On the Bet Tang San Made Back Then

Upon arriving at the Soul Fighting Arena, Beibei immediately flashed a smile at Huo Yuhao.

Following that, he leveraged some special connections to find the person in charge of the soul fighting area and began a secret negotiation.

Before long, the news that Xu Sanshi was going to have a soul fighting match against the freshman Huo Yuhao spread instantly throughout the entire outer courtyard.

People swarmed toward the location, eager to catch a glimpse of the outer courtyard's number one defense.

As for Huo Yuhao, they chose to ignore him entirely.

Those who were asleep were woken up directly by their close roommates, and most of those who weren't sleeping rushed over immediately.

However, the majority of these people were women.

Some women who were currently in the woods, upon thinking of Xu Sanshi's status and his playboy persona, finished their business in a rush despite their boyfriends' resentful gazes and hurried over.

In a short while, the stands of the Soul Fighting Arena were already filled with many people, including quite a few beauties.

Some had even brought signs with them.

The content on those signs was simple, flashy, and bright.

For example, there were straightforward declarations of love: "Sanshi, I love you."

Or praise for his strength: "Xuanwu Battle Soul, peerless under the heavens."

Or even the fanatical: "Sanshi, I want to have your babies..."

Fortunately, most of them were normal people.

At this moment.

Some clever individuals began to secretly place bets at the small betting counter near the entrance.

Huo Yuhao took out his gold coins, which, combined with the money earned from Jiang Nannan selling sanitary napkins earlier, totaled 30,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Actually, logically speaking, it should have been over 31,000.

After all, Zhou Yi had given Huo Yuhao 50,000; he spent 30,000 on the house, and the sanitary napkin money added another 1,000.

But Bai Feng had previously followed Huo Yuhao's arrangements, taking the gold card to buy some daily necessities outside, as well as booking some workers to come and work tomorrow and purchasing some lumber.

Meanwhile, the amount of gold coins on the opposite side had already reached 80,000 in just a short while.

The current odds were 3:8.

And the odds were still continuing to rise.

Shrek Academy had many students, and quite a few had enrolled due to their family backgrounds.

If each person contributed two or three hundred, it was perfectly normal for fewer than 300 people to scrape together 80,000 gold coins.

What's more, the number of students at Shrek Academy was far greater than that.

Of course, some people naturally saw Huo Yuhao while they were placing their bets.

Their gazes were filled with scrutiny and mockery.

But they didn't dare to act recklessly; Huo Yuhao simply waved his hand, and Liu Erlong, standing to the side, directly displayed her seven-ring Soul Saint cultivation.

Instantly, these people became as silent as cicadas in winter, able only to silently increase their bets, hoping that Huo Yuhao would lose miserably.

At this moment, Tang Ya suddenly pressed her palms together. She had almost emptied the Tang Sect's treasury, taking out 20 gold coins, and muttered to herself: "Tang Sect ancestors bless me, Tang Sect ancestors bless me, we must win this time, we must win!"

Saying this, Tang Ya raised her hand and placed the money on the side of Huo Yuhao winning.

The current odds rose again.

It was roughly 3:10.

Huo Yuhao heard this and felt a bit puzzled, asking with a smile: "Tang Ya, how come you have so much confidence in me?"

Tang Ya nodded as if it were a serious matter: "Of course I have confidence in you, little brother Yuhao, go for it!"

"Besides, I prayed to the Tang Sect ancestors; he is a gambling expert, he will definitely be able to protect you!"

Hearing the words "Tang Sect ancestors," Huo Yuhao naturally knew she was talking about the pure and noble Tang San.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously froze for a moment: "A gambling expert?"

Following that.

Huo Yuhao thought of a few things.

Tang San was indeed a gambling expert...

Tang San was truly good at gambling.

Whenever he was at a disadvantage, facing a powerful enemy he couldn't beat, he would cleverly shout, "Wait, let's make a bet."

For example, Tang San made a bet with Zhao Wuji, limited to the time it took for one stick of incense to burn.

He also bet with Dugu Bo, successfully taming the Green Snake and even sharing the medicinal herb field.

He even bet with the Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, gaining the opportunity to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the sect.

Besides that, he had also bet with his great-uncle Bai He, and with the Sea Douluo of the Seven Holy Pillars.

If you can't beat them, make a bet; this was Tang San's "wisdom." Of course, he would also make bets when he could win, such as betting with Huo Wu, betting with Meng Yiran, and even betting with Zi Zhenzhu.

However, the most explosive part was the bet made with Qian Renxue.

If it were a normal bet, there wouldn't be much to complain about, as Tang San was already used to gambling.

But to lose a bet and then refuse to acknowledge it—that was rather underhanded.

When Tang San and Qian Renxue made the bet, both sides agreed to a battle lasting the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

If Qian Renxue could capture Tang San, Tang San would submit to her.

If Qian Renxue lost, she would give Tang San three days to escape.

But in the end.

In the original work, to preserve Tang San's image, he used the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, nearly killing Qian Renxue, who had become a god.

In other words, Tang San won this bet.

But during the battle.

Tang San very righteously said: "Life is what I desire, and righteousness is also what I desire; if I cannot have both, I will sacrifice my life for righteousness."

This was clearly meant to show that for the sake of the greater good in his heart, he would not submit to Qian Renxue.

The subtext was that even if he lost, he wouldn't admit it.

Then why make the bet in the first place?

How should one put it?

This fully demonstrated Tang San's firm will and noble character...

"Brother Yuhao, it's starting."

At this moment, Beibei spoke to Huo Yuhao.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded, looked left and right, and asked: "Where is Xu Sanshi?"

Beibei smiled again and replied: "He will appear shortly."

Huo Yuhao nodded after hearing this, and as if thinking of something, he walked step by step toward the Soul Fighting Platform.

The moment Huo Yuhao appeared before everyone, the referee at the Soul Fighting Arena, a five-ring Soul King, took notice.

This referee was a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty, with a square face and an appearance that radiated uprightness.

Actually, logically speaking, the referee here should have been a beautiful woman.

She was very pretty, but for some reason, she had been replaced by someone else.

At this time, the middle-aged man looked at the many students present and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, the lower-grade student appearing next is named Huo Yuhao, a first-year freshman."

"This time, he will be sparring with the outer courtyard's number one defense."

"I hope everyone maintains a positive and civilized attitude and does not make loud noises."

"As for the result, I believe you all have an idea in your hearts."

"However, I must still clarify the rules: this match is between little brother Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi, and Xu Sanshi will only use one soul ring for the battle."

"The reason is that this little brother also only has one soul ring, which reflects Xu Sanshi's fairness and friendliness."

"It also reflects the excellent virtues of our Shrek Academy, which does not bully the weak."

The middle-aged referee finished speaking with an air of righteousness and immediately stepped aside.

Hearing the middle-aged referee say such things, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful expression.

Xu Sanshi using only one soul ring—that was something he had said himself.

Yet now, it had become Xu Sanshi's voluntary choice.

And something about fairness and justice, too.

Even if Xu Sanshi only used one soul ring, his soul power of over level 30 was not restricted.

And he himself only had level 16 soul power.

Any person could figure out the logic behind this.

This so-called fairness and justice was quite interesting.

At the same time.

The surrounding audience didn't take the referee's words to heart at all.
