Fang Lin's original intention was to ask Yu Feng to help find a white glove, but he didn't expect Yu Feng to be all in.
"Don't do anything reckless, or you'll lose the family fortune!" Fang Lin didn't want to be forced into being a "bad influence."
"Don't worry, Brother Lin, I know what I'm doing." Yu Feng chuckled and turned to write a letter.
Less than four days after Yu Feng sent his letter, a young man and woman, both older than Yu Feng and possessing the cultivation of Soul Grandmaster, arrived.
The man was tall and thin, dressed in a tight-fitting gray-black outfit with cloth boots that cinched his legs, looking light and agile. The woman was similar, except that her leggings were white, her long hair was tied up, she had delicate features, and she wore no extra accessories.
Judging from Yu Feng's address, the man's name is Chen Feng, and the woman's name is Yu Ling.
The two looked travel-worn, as if they had traveled a long way.
To avoid Qin Ming and his group, they decided to meet in an alley outside the inn.
As the recipient of the entrusted funds, Fang Lin also needed to meet with the two of them.
" Sister Yu Ling, did you bring all the money?" Yu Feng's voice was low, giving Fang Lin a sense of unease about an improper transaction.
"We brought it, but we didn't tell your grandfather about it. It was a few of us who pooled our money together privately." The woman named Yu Ling took out a bag, her tone hesitant. "Xiao... Feng, is what you're saying reliable?"
"Don't worry, Sister Yu Ling, you know my strength. Everyone in our team is just as good as me. You all want to buy Storage Soul Tool as soon as possible, right?" Yu Feng patted his chest and took out the Gold Soul Coin he had prepared and handed them to Yu Ling.
Over the past four days, the Imperial Fighting Team has won two more matches, with Fang Lin and Yu Feng each earning 1,000 Gold Soul Coin. Combined with their previous savings, they now have a total of nearly 6,000 Gold Soul Coin, of which Fang Lin's account for 3,500.
Correspondingly, after the winning streak, the odds for the Imperial Fighting Team have decreased again, and are now 1:. At this rate, it's possible that it will eventually become 1:1.1.
Yu Feng was heartbroken at the thought of having missed out on a sum of money.
" Sister Yu Ling, this is a golden opportunity! You should place your bets right away!"
"Okay, I'll go in a bit." Yu Ling nodded emphatically, her hesitation vanishing as she thought about how she would be able to get Storage Soul Tool in a few days.
If they were to accumulate according to the Spirit Hall's subsidies, it would take them several years to save up.
Night fell as promised.
In the Soul Fighting Rest Room, Fang Lin and Yu Feng both put away their usual playful banter and quietly conserved their energy.
The rest of the Heaven Dou Imperial Team exchanged bewildered glances.
It's one thing if it's just one person, but it's a bit unusual when two people are together.
A look of doubt flashed across Ye Lingling's face, her brows furrowed, and she asked Dugu Yan, "Was tonight's opponent very strong?"
"It seems so-so." Dugu Yan tilted her head back and thought for a moment. "I remember their win rate was even lower than ours. After this match, we'll probably have an 18-game winning streak, and the matchmaking intervals will get longer from now on."
The higher the win rate of a team in the Soul Fighting, the lower the matchmaking efficiency will be. What the Soul Fighting Arena and the audience want to see are more evenly matched and higher-quality battles.
As the two were talking, Fang Lin suddenly stood up, his expression serious. "As captains and commanders, you should give your all in every battle. I hope this careless attitude will not reappear in the future."
Yu Feng followed up with a low voice, "That's right, Sister Yan, even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit."
After they finished speaking, they exchanged a glance and then went back to their meditative states, leaving Dugu Yan quite angry.
The Shi Mo Brothers, standing nearby, were stunned for a moment and muttered to themselves.
"I feel like they're both possessed by Teacher Qin." That's what the older brother Shi Mo, said.
"Even if someone possesses another body, they can only possess one, right?" The younger brother, Shi Mo, was more meticulous.
After a while, staff came over to notify everyone to enter.
Fang Lin and Yu Feng's performance made everyone pay close attention to their next opponent, which led to the Soul Fighting ending very quickly.
In the days that followed, Fang Lin and Yu Feng put in extra effort in the Soul Fighting, especially Fang Lin, who went all out in every match. Once, he even used so much force that the opposing captain was so frightened that he immediately conceded defeat.
A month passed in this way, and the Imperial Fighting Team completed twelve more Soul Fighting, achieving a terrifying 30-game winning streak. During this period, the Heaven Dou Imperial Team challenged almost all the stronger Soul Elder teams in the Great Soul Arena, and none of them were their match.
When the thirteenth match ended, everyone walked out of the Soul Fighting Arena chatting and laughing, their faces beaming with joy and relief.
Once the badge points are settled at the end of the month, the Imperial Fighting Team will officially enter the Silver Soul Fighter Team Badge stage, and the training tasks given by Qin Ming will be completed ahead of schedule.
"You guys go ahead, we're going to grab a late-night snack."
After saying goodbye to Ye Lingling and the others, Fang Lin and Yu Feng left the group with their arms around each other's shoulders. After everyone disappeared, the two turned back towards the Great Soul Arena. After walking for a while, they turned into an alley.
In the darkness of night, two figures dressed in black robes were already waiting there.
As Yu Feng and Fang Lin entered, the two dark figures lifted their hoods, revealing two young faces, their expressions a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
These two were naturally Chen Feng and Yu Ling.
As for this outfit, it was Fang Lin's suggestion. The betting window at the Soul Fighting Arena is public, and the two of them frequenting it inevitably aroused suspicion.
Fang Lin and Yu Feng asked the two to help them place the bets, but this matter couldn't be known to anyone, especially not in the Great Soul Arena.
" Xiao Feng, all the Gold Soul Coin have been settled, they're all here! My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen so many Gold Soul Coin." Yu Ling's voice was slightly stuttering and trembling. She took out a stack of Gold Soul Coin cards from her pocket, as well as a bag containing loose Gold Soul Coin.
"Quickly! Start distributing the Gold Soul Coin!" Yu Feng swallowed excitedly.
Everyone's accounts had been settled long ago, and now it was time for a pleasant settlement.
The Gold Soul Coin cards come in various denominations, ranging from one hundred to ten thousand. They are jointly issued by the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall, and can be accessed and exchanged at any money exchange.
Fang Lin took out the three highest denomination bills, plus some loose Gold Soul Coin, bringing his total assets to 47,600 Gold Soul Coin. He even borrowed some money from Dugu Yan Fang Lin further increase his holdings.
Once the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue appears, it's basically a sure thing; the one-cubic-meter storage ring should have been retired long ago.
Yu Feng also received nearly 30,000, which is only the portion he invested himself, not counting Yu Ling and the other two.
Fang Lin glanced at the thickness of the remaining stack of Gold Soul Coin cards; there were at least twenty cards, indicating that the two of them had clearly attracted new investment.
Yu Feng's waist pouch bulged, and he couldn't suppress his smug smile as he gave Fang Lin a tight hug.
" Brother Lin, you're practically a gambling god!"
When his assets reached 10,000 Gold Soul Coin, Yu Feng had already considered backing out, but seeing that Fang Lin was still investing all his money, he gritted his teeth and followed suit.
"Let's split the money and leave. It would be best to deposit it in a money exchange before going back," Fang Lin said to Yu Ling and the other woman.
Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin is not a small amount. If two Soul Grandmaster have it in their hands, there's no guarantee that a high-level Soul Master won't have malicious intentions.
"Okay, let's save it tonight, and then we'll go back separately tomorrow after we change our clothes." Yu Ling and the other woman's expressions turned serious.
After Fang Lin and Yu Feng left, only Yu Ling and Chen Feng remained in the alley. But the two did not leave, as if they were waiting for someone.
Just as Fang Lin and Yu Feng's figures completely disappeared, an elderly man with a full head of snow-white hair suddenly appeared. He was tall and slender, with a ruddy and smooth face, showing none of the hunched and tired appearance of an ordinary old man.
