Rigged Match? Tang Wulin Goes All In with the Golden Dragon King!

The long-silent Comparison Heavenly Screen suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.

The next instant, three figures slowly appeared within the Three Realms Sky Screen.

Inside the Comparison Space

Yu Xiaogang of the Douluo I Era.

Electrolux of the Douluo II Era, in soul form.

Wu Changkong of the Douluo III Era, holding the Heavenly Frost Sword.

When everyone saw the soul floating above Electrolux's hand, surrounded by nine Soul Rings, the Three Realms erupted.

"Is that a Divine Soul? What happened in the Douluo II Era? He's toying with a Titled Douluo's soul in one hand?"

"All I want to know is how far Huo Yuhao has grown. His teacher has a Titled Douluo's soul in his grasp. Huo Yuhao must have broken through to level twenty and become a Soul Grandmaster, right?"

People from the Douluo I and Douluo II Eras spoke up one after another.

The Douluo III Era, the age of the Legend of the Dragon King.

[Third-Generation Golden Dragon Form Tang Wulin:

"Go, Teacher Wu!"

"Don't be afraid. What you said makes a lot of sense. There's no shame in losing, especially when your opponent is the teacher of the Spirit Pagoda's first founder, the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao—a God Level powerhouse!!"

"Senior Huo Yuhao, Senior Tang San, have you been well since returning to your own worlds???"]

Tang Wulin excitedly posted on the Heavenly Screen. For the first time, he experienced what it was like to watch someone else's comparison. So this was how it worked.

The Douluo II Era, the Peerless Era.

[Second-Generation Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao: "Just became a Soul Elder. Do not disturb. Thanks!"]

The Douluo I Era, Shrek Academy.

[First Generation Sea God Tang San: Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, we'll settle things for real in the next comparison!]

Because the Heavenly Screen had revealed the future, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already entered Shrek Academy ahead of time.

Not only that, but with Ah Yin's help, Tang San had forced himself to absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone after all. His Soul Power had consequently reached the peak of level twenty-eight.

Tang San was confident he could break through to level thirty and become a Soul Elder before the next comparison, when he turned twelve. Then, at level thirty, he would face Huo Yuhao, a Soul Master who had lost Electrolux, and Tang Wulin, who was merely a little stronger than average.

Of the two, only Tang Wulin posed a tiny bit more of a threat, and that was just because he hit hard. In a year, the most Tang Wulin could manage was reaching level twenty and becoming a Soul Grandmaster.

Tang San had lost both matches in the last comparison. Next time, the advantage would be his. He would win both!

[First comparison]

[Gangzi vs. Undead Saint Mage Electrolux!]

[Heavenly Screen Betting! (All Three Realms may place bets!)]

The moment Heavenly Screen Betting appeared, everyone across the Three Realms went wild.

"They're handing out a guaranteed win! The Heavenly Screen's throwing money around! Anyone can see Gangzi can't possibly win. The Heavenly Screen drained all twenty-nine levels of his Soul Power, and he even lost his Martial Soul."

"Forget the cripple Yu Xiaogang is now. Even at his peak, he'd never be a match for Electrolux."

"Even if betting on Electrolux only paid out at even odds, that'd be enough to make everyone rich."

[A bet on Gangzi pays out at odds of 9,999 to 1 if he wins!]

[A bet on Electrolux pays out at odds of 1 to 10,000 if he wins!]

The moment the odds appeared, everyone fell silent.

"Are you kidding me? Bet ten thousand Gold Soul Coins on Electrolux and you only win one?"

"Fuck, I wanted to sell my house and bet it all on Electrolux for a sure win, but that idiot landlord won't let me."

"Do you think—do you think there's a chance Electrolux might throw the match?"

"Did you drink too much, guy above me?"

Huo Yuhao had wanted to bet on Electrolux too. It was an obvious win, and there was no reason to leave money on the table. But after seeing the odds, he gave up at once.

It wasn't that he doubted Electrolux's abilities. There was simply no point.

Even if he went all in with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his return would be no more than a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. He would be better off spending that time killing a few more Evil Soul Masters.

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao looked down at Wan Li's corpse by his feet, and a mischievous smile tugged at his lips.

[Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi... has bet on Yu Xiaogang...]

[Shrek Academy has bet on Yu Xiaogang...]

[First Generation Sea God Tang San has bet on Yu Xiaogang...]

The age of the Legend of the Dragon King.

Tang Wulin stared at the Heavenly Screen in confusion.

"Isn't it obvious he'll lose?"

"Aren't these people just throwing their bets away by backing Yu Xiaogang??"

[Second-Generation Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao has bet on... Yu Xiaogang...]

"Wait. Why did Huo Yuhao bet on Yu Xiaogang too? Does he know something we don't???"

A knowing light flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes. He had found it. He thought he had found a bug in the Heavenly Screen.

A way to change his own fate.

"Ever since the Golden Dragon Bloodline awakened, it's tortured me and made my life a living hell. Every day, I worry it might erupt at any moment and burst my body apart. If I stake it and lose, I'll never have to worry about my life being in danger again!"

Tang Wulin felt he had hit on the crucial point.

But who should he bet on?

Electrolux was obviously going to win, but would the Heavenly Screen really let people win so easily?

Tang Wulin thought through every detail of the bets. In the first Heavenly Screen comparison, nobody had expected Huo Yuhao to win, but his Divine Soul had erupted and won him the match.

And in the second comparison, who could have imagined that an ordinary kid like him could defeat Sea God Tang San? If his bloodline hadn't erupted, he would have lost long ago. Even with that eruption, he had nearly died in the arena before scraping out a victory.

Every time, someone had been fleeced.

"Everyone knows Huo Yuhao's teacher is sure to win. So why are people still betting on Yu Xiaogang?"

"Even Huo Yuhao bet on Yu Xiaogang. He's a Child of Destiny—his luck has to be incredible."

"If I can't trust myself, surely I can trust Huo Yuhao's luck?"

Under normal circumstances, betting on Huo Yuhao's teacher would be a guaranteed win for Electrolux. But the Heavenly Screen wasn't normal. Even Huo Yuhao, a Child of Destiny, had chosen to bet on Yu Xiaogang.

He hadn't bet on his own teacher. He had bet on the opponent. Clearly, Electrolux was going to throw the match.

The more Tang Wulin thought about it, the more excited he became. Clearly, Huo Yuhao and Electrolux were no longer content with manipulating the comparisons. They were preparing to throw a match and fleece everyone across three worlds!

Tang Wulin recalled the impression Huo Yuhao and Electrolux had made by controlling the first comparison, and his certainty grew.

Tang Wulin wasn't the only one convinced. Many people outside the Heavenly Screen noticed the message saying Huo Yuhao had bet on Yu Xiaogang. The Heavenly Screen had even concealed what he had staked.

In an instant, nobody could sit still. They rushed to bet on Yu Xiaogang.

"Fuck, Huo Yuhao bet on Yu Xiaogang! Even the house is in on it! Electrolux is going to throw the match!!!"

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine to one! Even betting a single level of Soul Power could make you a god in an instant!!!"

[Heavenly Screen Betting: All bets are final. Bets cannot be withdrawn. Betting closes in... three... two...]

As if it were deliberately stirring up trouble, the Heavenly Screen skipped through two seconds of the countdown at once.

"All in, all in! Bet the Golden Dragon Bloodline—everything that belongs to the Golden Dragon—on Electrolux!!!"

[Third-Generation Golden Dragon Form Tang Wulin has gone all in, staking the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and its core... on Electrolux!]

Tang Wulin let out a heavy breath of relief.

"I finally got rid of that hidden danger in the last second. Starting tonight, I'll never have to worry about my body bursting apart again."
