An Interesting Bet

The moment Chen Feng agreed to accept the challenge, the gazes of every Soul Master in the arena seemed to freeze.

Dai Mubai and the others were even more stunned.

Because they knew that only five of them had come to the Great Soul Arena this time!

In a team match, how could a gap of two people possibly be made up?

Let alone two people—even in some top-tier team matches,

the skill of one Soul Ring, or an increase of one rank in Soul Power, could determine victory or defeat!

Yet when it came to Chen Feng, he was directly going in two people short?

Even Dai Mubai, arrogant as he usually was, was startled by Chen Feng's audacity.

Soon afterward, both teams began preparing.

During the break, Xiao Wu widened her large eyes, her little mouth slightly open as she leaned close to Chen Feng's ear and whispered,

"Feng Ge, aren't we being too reckless?"

She had no confidence at all. How were they supposed to fight while down two people?

That was also why Xiao Wu, who had always had a fiery temper, had not rushed to agree earlier.

But who would have thought that Feng Ge would not only agree, but also wager ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?

Even if they had money, they could not squander it like this!

Xiao Wu looked incomparably worried.

Seeing this, Chen Feng teased, "Scared?"

"I'm not scared!" Xiao Wu clenched her little fists. "Even with fewer people, we can still beat them until they're crawling around looking for their teeth!"

Her words were as domineering as ever, but the confidence behind them was clearly lacking.

"How about we make an interesting bet too?" Chen Feng's smile was somewhat suggestive.

Xiao Wu's face reddened. After spending the past few days together, she had come to understand him quite well!

Whenever Chen Feng showed that sort of smile,

it meant he was very likely about to do something improper!

"Hmph! All you know is how to take advantage of me!" Xiao Wu glared at him fiercely.

"Then forget it!" Chen Feng acted as though he did not care at all.

Yet Xiao Wu immediately fell into indecision.

In her eyes, no matter how she looked at it, they had almost no chance of winning this time!

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said,

"A bet it is! If you win this time, I'll accept it!"

"Bet on what?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then leaned close and whispered something into Xiao Wu's ear.

To his surprise, another flush spread across Xiao Wu's lovely face, turning red all the way to the base of her neck.

"Do you agree?" Chen Feng asked with a teasing smile.

Recently, he had grown quite fond of seeing Xiao Wu blush so shyly.

Though she was a soul beast in human form that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, by human standards, Xiao Wu was still as blank as a sheet of paper.

"You big pervert!" Xiao Wu scolded sweetly.

However, anyone could see the affection in her eyes.

"Then I'll take that as a yes," Chen Feng said.

Xiao Wu pouted and snorted. "So what if I agree? You're going to lose anyway!"

"Just wait and see," Chen Feng said with a smile.

At the same time,

the other Soul Masters in the preparation area were discussing the matter heatedly.

"Who do you think has the better odds this time?"

"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely the Mad War Team!"

"Old Man Mo, what do you think?"

At those words, everyone turned to look in one direction.

"Alas!" Mo Cang sighed. "That Chen Feng is very strong, but in a team match, the role an individual can play is very limited!"

He spoke far more tactfully than before and was no longer as arrogant as he had been.

After losing to Chen Feng, the old man had also learned to keep his head down and bide his time.

The meaning behind his words was naturally that Chen Feng's group would lose.

The commotion in the stands was no less intense.

"Haha, what do you think? Want to make it interesting?"

"The odds for this match are out—Shrek Battle Team versus Mad War Team, one to ten!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bet on the Mad War Team!"

"Isn't it obvious that the Mad War Team will win? The Soul Arena actually dared to open betting?"

"..."

Upon hearing the news, many spectators rushed to place their bets.

Even the Soul Masters in the preparation area could not resist joining in the excitement.

Within the crowd, Old Man Mo's heart stirred.

He was badly in need of money lately, and such a clear-cut bet was not something one saw often!

So, as if possessed, Mo Cang followed the others to place a bet as well.

But just as he was about to make his wager, he suddenly recalled Chen Feng's unfathomable strength.

No!

This battle was probably not so simple!

Although the Mad War Team held an absolute advantage, who could guarantee that the Shrek Battle Team would not turn the tables?

After all, that young Chen Feng was practically synonymous with miracles!

Mo Cang struggled inwardly, then finally gritted his teeth and placed one hundred Gold Soul Coins on the Shrek Battle Team.

Before long, the venue had been arranged.

The team battle Soul Arena was the largest of all.

The circular fighting platform had a diameter of a full forty meters and covered more than a thousand square meters!

Chen Feng walked in front, leading the other four out of the preparation area.

As for the Mad War Team,

the first one to catch the eye was Mad Rhino's burly, imposing frame.

Behind him followed two middle-aged men of similar age, who also looked somewhat alike.

Further back stood a seductive woman.

She wore heavy makeup and extremely revealing clothes.

The moment she appeared, she tossed a flirtatious glance at Chen Feng ahead of her.

But Chen Feng was completely unmoved.

His tastes were rather high...

Behind the seductive woman stood two skinny youths.

Last was an utterly ordinary, unremarkable man.

Chen Feng merely swept his gaze over them before looking away.

In his view, the main purpose of this battle was to vent Zhu Zhuqing's anger.

And incidentally build some team coordination.

But the audience reacted completely differently.

The instant they saw the Mad War Team appear, their eyes blazed with Frenzy, as if they had been injected with stimulants.

"Get them! Crush them!"

"End it quickly! Finish the battle in ten seconds!"

"Go, Mad War Team!"

"..."

After the Host introduced both teams, the battle began.

The two sides immediately formed up, rings of dazzling Soul Rings lighting up around them.

On Shrek's side, the first two Soul Rings were both neatly yellow.

After that,

Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai had purple Thousand Year Soul Rings, while Chen Feng possessed a pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

When they saw this, waves of shocked cries erupted throughout the arena once more!

Hearing about it beforehand was one thing, but seeing it with their own eyes was another entirely!

"Heavens! Am I seeing things?"

"It really is a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

"I'm numb! Can you leave ordinary Soul Masters a way to live?!"

"..."

On the other hand, the Mad War Team's Soul Ring configurations were far inferior.

Mad Rhino's Soul Rings were white, yellow, and purple.

The most eye-catching of them all was that seductive woman.

She actually had a perfect Soul Ring configuration: two yellow and one purple.

"Come at us, then!" Chen Feng crooked the fingers of his left hand toward them.

Then he raised his right hand. His martial soul, the Heavenly Dao Sword, appeared.

The moment the martial soul emerged, an aura of overwhelming majesty swept across the entire arena!

The violent fluctuations of Soul Power caused even Mad Rhino, standing at the front, to drastically change expression!

Had there not been only five people on the other side, two of whom were Soul Grand Masters, he would likely have surrendered on the spot!
