Chapter 593: Not Enough Smoking
There is still one hour left before the fight begins.
The betting channel is closed.
Thomason has been continuously betting up to 20 billion low-grade immortal stones.
This amount of immortal stones can only be regarded as a first try.
Compared with the total amount given to Thomason by the Shadow Emperor, it is only one-fiftieth.
However, relying on this amount of immortal stones, Thomason successfully made this fight the most eye-catching one today.
The life-and-death duel between the 180-level Earth Tree Clan is undoubtedly more attractive than the life-and-death duel between the 150-level Earth Tree Clan and a 150-level Flame Clan.
But the high odds attracted the attention of countless viewers.
It also made millions of viewers bet on the victory of the Flame Clan.
Compared with watching a high-level fight, these viewers who bet are more concerned about whether they can win.
Even those viewers who did not bet are more concerned about who will win this fight.
As early as five or six hours before the betting channel was closed, the five million tickets were sold out.
This made the person in charge of the arena regret not making a decision earlier. As soon as the signs came up, the venue of the competition was changed to the largest venue.
Zhulu Arena, the largest venue, can accommodate more than 100 million spectators to watch the fight at the same time.
Although the ticket price for this level of fight is not expensive, it is only two low-grade immortal stones per ticket on average. With the advantage of large volume, it can also earn 200 million low-grade immortal stones from the ticket.
As the betting channel was closed.
The odds were finally fixed at 1 to 2 whether Yi Chen won or the Flame Clan won.
The total bet amount was as high as 45 billion low-grade immortal stones, and the bet amounts on both sides were almost the same.
The total bet amount on the side betting on Yi Chen's victory was more than 22 billion, and Thomason alone bet 20 billion.
It can almost be regarded as Thomason single-handedly challenging millions of spectators.
To be more precise, it was Yi Chen single-handedly challenging millions of spectators.
Thomason was just his agent for betting.
"Your Majesty, the betting channel is closed!"
After receiving Thomason's notification, Maris immediately notified Yi Chen in return.
Yi Chen nodded and looked up at Shadow Emperor, "Let's go!"
"Okay!"
The Shadow Emperor immediately ended his training and entered a hidden state.
Then, he took Yi Chen away from the flying magic weapon.
In a flash, they arrived at the palace complex arranged for the gladiators to rest in the arena.
Quickly came to a palace.
The Shadow Emperor's body shrank rapidly, shrinking to a non-existent existence, easily passing through the powerful defense ban and entering the palace.
The next second, he transmitted the coordinates of a flame tribe gladiator to Yi Chen through his perception ability.
This flame tribe gladiator is about 20 meters tall, and there is a faint flame lingering around his body.
Yi Chen immediately opened the Qiyun Jue.
The orange Qiyun poured into his Qihai like a tide.
In just one or two minutes, the orange Qiyun turned into black Qiyun.
Yi Chen then reversed the Luck Art and returned the black luck to the Flame Clan gladiator.
"Let's go!"
Yi Chen was a little reluctant.
It was over after just one or two minutes of drawing, which was not satisfying at all.
But there was no way, the opponent was only level 150, and the total amount of luck was too low.
With his current strength and the strength of the Luck Art, even if he drew a 200-level strongman, it would only take more than ten minutes.
If you want to draw to your heart's content, you have to find those 210-level or even 220-level strongmen.
The reason why Yi Chen drew the luck of a 150-level Flame Clan gladiator was not for this little luck.
But to ensure safety.
Only by draining the luck of the Flame Clan gladiator can you be sure of winning.
Otherwise, although he is confident that he can cross a large realm and defeat a strong enemy, who knows if he will encounter an equally powerful and outrageous existence.
Draining the opponent's luck, even if the opponent is really stronger than himself, there is only one way to go, and that is death.
After receiving the notification, Emperor Ying immediately took Yi Chen out of the defense ban and returned to the flying magic weapon.
There was still half an hour before the game.
The stands of the stadium were already full.
"May the clan leaders of all generations bless this guy named Clay. It would be best if he met his enemy and was killed by him in the arena."
Some viewers of the Earth Tree Tribe couldn't help but pray.
None of the Earth Tree Tribe viewers around scolded him for not supporting the Earth Tree Tribe, but supporting the Flame Tribe instead.
The reason is very simple.
If there were no benefits, as members of the Earth Tree Tribe, they would naturally hope that the Earth Tree Tribe could win and easily kill the Flame Tribe.
But almost all the audience present were tempted by the odds and bet on the Flame Tribe gladiator to win.
Compared with benefits, the sense of identity of the same tribe is not that important.
"It is very unlikely that he will be killed before the arena. Instead of expecting this, it is better to expect that the Flame Tribe gladiator will crush him with absolute advantage as soon as the game starts."
Some viewers of the Earth Tree Tribe couldn't help but look forward to it.
However, this audience from the Earth Tree Clan was relatively conservative.
Because private fights were strictly prohibited in the Zhulu Arena, especially in the resting area for the gladiators, which was guarded by the Earth Tree Clan strongmen.
Killing a gladiator would lead to death.
If a gladiator was killed before the fight, it would be equivalent to giving up and admitting defeat, and another gladiator would automatically win.
But this possibility was very rare in the Zhulu Arena.
In comparison, the most common situation is when one party crushes the opponent with absolute advantage.
"Don't even think about crushing with absolute advantage."
This idea also quickly attracted opposition. "The Flame Clan will definitely win with a high probability. After all, the Flame Clan has a great restraint on our Earth Tree Clan. Even if this guy named Clay is a genius, he may not be able to defeat the Flame Clan."
"If you want to crush easily, it may not be possible. Because this guy named Clay is participating in the life and death duel for the first time. Moreover, a big boss bet heavily on him for the first time."
"Including this duel, the total bet amount is ridiculously high, higher than the 180-level life and death duel in the same period, which shows that this big boss who bet heavily is very optimistic about Clay's victory and must have a good understanding of Clay's strength."
"Even if Clay can't win, it's still a battle of equal strength!"
"No matter what, as long as the Flame Clan gladiator can win. The process is not important, as long as the ending is in line with expectations."
"Indeed, it's fine as long as they can win."
As time approaches, the audience in the stands, even those who didn't get tickets and could only wait for news outside the arena, are getting more and more nervous.
The few Earth Tree Clan spectators who bet on Yi Chen's victory did not dare to interrupt.
There was no other way, there were too few companions around.
They could only pray silently, hoping that Yi Chen would win.
Under the gaze of more than five million Earth Tree Clan spectators, with only three minutes left before the start of the game, the Flame Clan gladiator appeared at the entrance of the passage.
From the entrance of the passage, he entered the ring.
Cheers suddenly sounded like thunder.
At the last minute, when most of the audience hoped and expected Yi Chen not to appear.
Yi Chen's figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.
To be more precise, it was Yi Chen who used the Alien Technique to transform into the image of the Earth Tree Clan.
Disappointed boos suddenly sounded in the stands.
