Chapter 190

"What did you say? Defend the ring for one hundred matches? Are you joking?"

The manager was greatly shocked, as if they had heard the most incredible thing.

In their betting arena, the highest record was opening a defense for thirty matches, but the challenger ultimately fell at the twenty-eighth match and failed to succeed.

On the contrary, many had succeeded with ten or twenty matches.

"Do you know what defending the ring for one hundred matches means? Defending the ring is a gauntlet; you cannot rest during it. No matter how vigorous your True Qi is, it is impossible to succeed!"

The manager's face still wore a look of shock, never having expected that someone would actually want to defend the ring for one hundred matches.

The one who had previously attempted thirty matches was a disciple from one of the Seven Great Sacred Grounds, even capable of challenging those at higher levels, yet they ultimately failed due to a lack of True Qi.

And to want to challenge one hundred matches, how could that be possible?

"I am not joking. I am in urgent need of money. If I put up fifty thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones to defend the ring for one hundred matches, how much can I earn in total?"

Luren could not help but ask.

"If you can successfully complete the challenge, you can naturally earn fifty million Medium-grade Spirit Stones!"

As the manager spoke, they led Luren to the back office and asked seriously: "Do you truly want to defend the ring for one hundred matches? I must tell you, once the defense begins, according to our rules here, you can only stop after achieving one hundred consecutive wins. Once you lose a single match, all the accumulated defense prize money will be confiscated!"

"Then, as the defender, are there also regulations regarding the strength of the challengers?"

Luren asked.

"Of course. If I am not mistaken, you should be at the strength of the fourth stage of the Tiangang Realm, so the challengers will be set at the fourth stage of the Tiangang Realm!"

The manager said: "Furthermore, to ensure the confidentiality of your identity, you must wear black robes and a mask while challenging!"

This was also a rule of their betting arena; after all, many defenders were even disciples of the Seven Great Sacred Grounds, so everything was kept confidential.

"Fine, I will challenge one hundred matches!"

Luren said calmly.

With his current strength, against martial artists of the same realm, it was almost one strike per person. Plus, he had already condensed twelve drops of True Power within his body, which could replenish the True Qi in his Qi Sea twelve times.

"Are you truly going to challenge? However, this matter is of great importance. I must discuss it with our leader. Please wait a moment!"

After the manager finished speaking, they hurried away.

"Alright!"

Luren sat down with his eyes closed, calm and composed.

Before long, the manager arrived at the top floor, where a beautiful woman resided. She looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a moon-white long robe with her hair tied up in a high bun, adorned with a golden hairpin. Her lips were delicate and dripping, her skin was flawless, and her figure was proud.

If Luren were here, he would certainly recognize this person; she was none other than the Mingyue Pavilion master of Wufa City.

At this moment, she was looking through the window at the massive betting arena below.

Hearing the knock on the door, Mingyue frowned slightly and said: "Come in!"

"Greetings, Leader. Just now, a young man said he wanted to defend the ring for one hundred matches. Should we accept it?"

The manager could not help but ask.

"What? Challenge one hundred matches?"

Mingyue was slightly startled and asked: "What kind of young man is he?"

To dare to defend the ring for one hundred matches, he was truly arrogant!

"He is about twenty-something. Judging by his appearance, he should be very short on money. He said he wanted to put up fifty thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones to defend the ring. However, our betting arena has never accepted a one-hundred-match defense. It is almost impossible to succeed. If those people all bet that the defense will not succeed, wouldn't we go bankrupt?"

The manager frowned and said.

After all, defending the ring for one hundred matches was too outrageous; even the most top-tier geniuses from the Seven Great Sacred Grounds could not succeed.

"Bring him to see me. I want to see what kind of person he is to dare to challenge a one-hundred-match defense!"

Mingyue's thin lips curled up slightly.

Before long, the manager returned with Luren.

When Luren saw Mingyue, he said with a shocked expression: "Mingyue Pavilion master, you are actually here?"

"It is you?"

Mingyue's rosy little mouth opened slightly, and she then said to the manager: "We will accept this one-hundred-match defense. Arrange it immediately!"

"Yes!"

The manager nodded respectfully, then glanced at Luren with a look of surprise before turning and leaving.

This young man must have a significant background; the leader had agreed to the one-hundred-match defense without the slightest hesitation.

One must know that if Luren failed the defense, the loss would be at least one hundred million Medium-grade Spirit Stones.

"Luren, you actually came to the Chaos Sea?"

Mingyue was extremely surprised.

Ever since Luren left Wufa City, she had been keeping an eye on him at all times, especially the news of Luren defeating Tuobawuqing, which she had learned of immediately.

Luren wanting to complete a one-hundred-match defense was not a problem at all.

"I came to carry out a mission. On the way, I arrived at this Black Tiger Giant Ship and learned there was an auction, so I thought of a way to earn some money!"

Luren smiled faintly: "On the contrary, Pavilion master, your business has actually expanded all the way here?"

"I have quite a few industries under my name!"

Mingyue smiled.

"By the way, how is my friend doing now?"

Luren suddenly asked.

"Zhouxuan has good potential. I have already arranged for him to go to a place suitable for his training. Perhaps in a few years, his transformation will shock you!"

Mingyue said.

"Then many thanks!"

Luren cupped his hands.

"If you can successfully defend the ring for one hundred matches, you can help me make a huge profit, which would be your way of thanking me. However, one hundred matches is not that easy!"

Mingyue laughed.

"Rest assured!"

Luren did not take defending the ring seriously; let alone those in the same realm, even if they were one or two realms higher, as long as he did not encounter a monster like Tuobawuqing, he could easily defeat them.

At this moment, on the intense gambling arena, another ring defense had ended, and a martial artist at the seventh level of the Tiangang Realm had failed after seven matches.

"This guy is really weak, he made me lose money!"

"I told you to bet on single matches, not on the whole series!"

The crowd began to discuss it one after another.

A single match refers to the outcome of one bout, where the odds of winning money are naturally higher, while betting on the whole series means betting on whether the ring defender can successfully defend for ten matches.

A short while later, when the surroundings of the gambling arena quieted down, a middle-aged host slowly walked onto the ring, looked around, and said: "The next ring defender has a cultivation base at the fourth level of the Tiangang Realm. He will put up a ring defense fee of 500,000 Medium-grade Spirit Stones and is prepared to defend the ring for one hundred matches. Once he succeeds, he will receive 50 million Medium-grade Spirit Stones!"

Whoa!

In an instant, the entire gambling arena was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked beyond measure; they had heard of people defending the ring for ten or twenty matches, but this time, someone actually wanted to defend it for one hundred matches. Was this not too unbelievable?

"Are they crazy? Someone actually wants to defend the ring for one hundred matches? What kind of concept is that?"

"Even if his strength is formidable, after a dozen or twenty battles, the True Qi in his body will definitely be exhausted, and it will be even more impossible to complete one hundred matches!"

"Since the gambling arena dares to arrange a one-hundred-match defense, they must have a certain amount of confidence in that ring defender!"

The crowd began to discuss it one after another.

"For this challenger, the first ten matches are free to challenge. After ten matches, as long as you pay a challenge fee of 500,000, once you succeed in the challenge, you can take away all the ring defense money!"

The middle-aged host continued.

In an instant, the entire arena was in an uproar once again.

If one could reach the one-hundredth match, one could use 500,000 Medium-grade Spirit Stones to gamble for 50 million Medium-grade Spirit Stones.

I am afraid that any martial artist would want to give it a try!
