Chapter 680

"Understood, that's right."

Zhao Chi stared ahead: "But if the enemy isn't invisible, but underground… everyone, attention, spread out in a dispersed formation!"

"Yes!"

The female soldiers immediately separated.

Gu Qing gave the order: "Tang Ruan, stay close to my lord. The enemy might burst up from underground. Be ready to use Provoke at any moment!"

"Got it!"

Tang Ruan immediately moved close to Zhao Chi, expression serious.

Qi Yue pointed at the territory stone ahead.

"My lord, let me just charge straight over and smash the territory stone? It'll only take seven minutes."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "I still don't know what the enemy's hidden skill is. If it's invisibility, you might just charge straight into the enemy's formation, which would basically be charging in to die."

Qi Yue said: "Then should I take a detour? Go around?"

Zhao Chi sighed: "Don't underestimate Yuan Zhao. I don't even have confidence in winning this one."

【Battle ended. You have achieved victory. You may stay in place to interact with the audience, or click to return.】

Zhao Chi: "…"

They won?

Holy shit!

Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue: "…"

The three of them involuntarily looked at Zhao Chi.

Even the usually composed Gu Qing couldn't help but part her small lips slightly, her face full of astonishment.

Tang Ruan asked blankly: "My lord, did we… scare the enemy away?"

Qi Yue said in shock: "Really? Is that what happened?"

Zhao Chi watched the surrounding walls lower, shook his head, and said: "Definitely not… but Yuan Zhao might really have conceded… why?"

The audience drew closer and closer.

Zhao Chi could see those incomparably shocked faces one after another.

Just a second ago they had all been shouting at the top of their lungs, cheering and rallying for Yuan Zhao, but now they all seemed frozen in place.

They all found the result utterly unbelievable.

"Bullshit, right? The fight hasn't even started, why does Zhao Chi win?"

"Isn't this a load of crap? How did the battle just end? How did Yuan Zhao lose? Does invisibility count as a loss? Since when is that a rule?"

"Holy shit! Did Zhao Chi cheat? I bet a whole 1 gold coin on Yuan Zhao, explain this to me!!"

"Damn it, this isn't cheating, this is a fixed match! Zhao Chi must have bribed the referee. I put in 75 silver coins too, you bastards!"

"Where the hell is there a referee here?"

"Where is Yuan Zhao? Yuan Zhao, come out, we support you! If the officials don't give an explanation, we won't let this go!"

"Yeah! An explanation!"

"Where's the host? Come out and explain!"

"This is way too shady. You staff members kept saying with your own mouths that Yuan Zhao was stronger, which is why I placed my bet. But the battle lasted only 5 minutes before it ended? Isn't this just stealing money?"

"Exactly, way too shady. You swindled me out of 22 silver coins. Give us an explanation!"

"Zhao Chi, did you throw the fight? Give us an answer!"

"Yeah, Zhao Chi, what's going on here? You must know!"

Zhao Chi was also completely dumbfounded.

Facing the furious crowd of over a thousand people, Zhao Chi had no idea what to say.

He also didn't know why he had won.

Just now he was still worried this battle would be very dangerous, but how the hell did he end up winning?

But those who had bet on Zhao Chi were happy. After a brief moment of astonishment, they now understood what had happened.

Zhao Chi had won.

For them, this was a heaven-shaking reversal.

Originally, when they saw Yuan Zhao's entire team turn invisible, they too thought Zhao Chi was going to lose this time.

Yet somehow, inexplicably, he won?

This was basically free money.

"Zhao Chi, I'm with you, great win, hahaha!"

"Holy shit, Zhao Chi, I bet 40 silver coins on you and thought it was going down the drain, but I actually made money, holy shit, hahaha!"

"Zhao Chi, awesome!"

"A bet is a bet. You people who bet on Yuan Zhao go find the staff. What does it have to do with Zhao Chi?"

"Exactly. Don't dare to cause trouble for a noble, so you come bother Zhao Chi?"

"That's right. Zhao Chi never told you to bet on Yuan Zhao. Whoever you bet on, go find them!"

"Well said!"

The audience also came to their senses.

Indeed, the main target wasn't Zhao Chi.

They immediately unified their message, demanding the officials give an explanation.

Although this rookie tournament was co-hosted by five villages, the actual organizer was still this virtual training hall.

Going to find the staff wasn't wrong either.

But this had nothing to do with Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi didn't bother with any of it either.

Since the battle was over, there was no reason for him to stay here.

He immediately clicked teleport.

After returning to his territory, Zhao Chi said quickly, "Gu Qing, I'm going over there to take a look. This victory was too inexplicable. I'm leaving the territory to you. The battle is completely over now—handle the arrangements for all the training work."

Gu Qing nodded. "Alright, leave it to me. Be careful out there, my lord."

"Alright."
