“This guy is very confident,” Lin Yun said, his gaze narrowing as he looked at Wu Jun in the arena below.
The two were to suppress their realms to the same level. In such a situation, Wu Jun’s confidence was somewhat unexpected to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun recalled the first time he met Wu Jun earlier that day, when Wu Jun had boasted about being invincible in the Tongtian Realm. His words suggested he had great confidence in his own strength.
“Big brother, be careful,” Wu Yue and Wu Qing said, both showing some concern.
“At the same realm, I’m not afraid of him. I’ll give it my all,” Wu Chengtian replied.
With that, Wu Chengtian leapt into the arena.
In the arena, Wu Jun and Wu Chengtian stood facing each other.
“Wu Chengtian, it’s finally time for our battle. Back when you were still in the family, you outshone me in every way. But today, in this arena, I’ll make you see that I, Wu Jun, have long surpassed you!” Wu Jun’s tone was sharp, his presence commanding.
“If I win, you’ll keep your promise not to target my friend, right?” Wu Chengtian asked.
“Absolutely. If you can defeat me, I’ll definitely honor that!” Wu Jun said with a proud smile.
“I have my doubts about your credibility. Words alone aren’t enough. We need a written agreement,” Wu Chengtian said.
“Hold on,” Wu Jun raised his hand.
“What do you mean?” Wu Chengtian’s brows furrowed. Was Wu Jun trying to pull some trick?
“Since this is a gambling match, if you win, I’ll honor my promise. But what if I win? Shouldn’t I get something too?” Wu Jun said with a smile.
“What do you want?” Wu Chengtian asked coldly.
“My request isn’t excessive. If I win, you give me twenty million Haoyue crystal stones,” Wu Jun said, still smiling.
For Wu Jun, challenging Wu Chengtian was about crushing him and venting his anger. If he won, he could both satisfy his grudge and make money, a win-win situation.
“Twenty million? You’re too greedy, aren’t you?” Wu Chengtian’s expression darkened.
Even in Baibao House, a twenty-million bet was no small sum.
For Wu Chengtian, it was a significant amount. He currently had only thirty million Haoyue crystal stones in total.
“What? When you were competing with me at the auction, you were so bold, spending fifty million on a female elf for fun without blinking. Now twenty million is too much?” Wu Jun sneered.
With a smile, Wu Jun continued, “Of course, if you don’t want to pay, there’s another option. If you lose, kneel here in front of everyone and kowtow to me three times. Choose one of the two. Since it’s a gambling match, you have to put up a stake, don’t you?”
“Ha…”
“Fine, I choose twenty million Haoyue crystal stones as the stake,” Wu Chengtian decided.
Immediately, Wu Chengtian took out three pieces of paper, using his inner strength to form ink, and quickly wrote three contract letters. The terms stated that if Wu Chengtian won, Wu Jun would never trouble Lin Yun in any way. If Wu Jun won, Wu Chengtian would lose twenty million Haoyue crystal stones.
“Sign,” Wu Chengtian waved his hand, and the three contract letters flew to Wu Jun.
Wu Jun didn’t hesitate, signing and stamping them immediately. He kept one copy and returned the other two to Wu Chengtian.
At this moment, a Baibao House staff member stepped onto the stage.
“Young masters, according to Baibao House rules, guests engaging in a gambling match in the arena must sign a life-and-death contract,” the staff member said, presenting a life-and-death contract.
After all, the two were guests, unlike the beastmen slaves in the previous match, who were arranged by Baibao House.
Thus, they needed to sign the life-and-death contract first.
Wu Jun and Wu Chengtian each signed their names on the contract.
Undoubtedly, in a gambling match here, one could kill the opponent.
This was also why Baibao House’s arena was so popular.
After both signed, the life-and-death contract took effect.
“Please wait for the time it takes one incense stick to burn. This is the betting period for the audience. The match will officially begin after that,” the staff member said.
“Fine. I’ll entrust this contract to Baibao House for safekeeping, with you as the witness.”
As Wu Chengtian spoke, he handed the contract he had signed with Wu Jun to the staff member.
