Chapter 685: All Are Ruthless

Ye Liuyun left in a flash, and a Steward immediately brought him 1,500 high‑quality Spirit Stones.

These rewards are issued immediately after the participants finish their bouts.

Mainly because the competition is extremely brutal and death can come at any moment, many Martial Cultivators hand over their prize money to their families after the match, so that even if they die, the family can take the money away.

The arena's consideration of this makes its service quite humane.

Next up is Wu Qingcheng.

It seems their order of appearance follows the registration order.

After Wu Qingcheng entered, she fought ten consecutive bouts before stepping down to rest.

After Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er reached the Yin‑Yang Realm, the two learned each other's techniques, filling the gaps in their own repertoires.

However, in those first ten bouts, Wu Qingcheng used little Ice Power, relying mainly on illusion to minimize True Essence consumption.

After ten straight wins, Wu Qingcheng stepped down, and Lei Ming took the stage.

Du Yan, over there, wagered all the money he had just earned from Ye Liuyun on Wu Qingcheng to win all ten bouts.

Wu Qingcheng was also a newcomer, the casino offered high odds, giving Du Yan a big profit.

Next is Lei Ming's turn.

This time Du Yan didn't bring out all his Spirit Stones. After twenty consecutive doublings, staking all his Spirit Stones now would be a high‑roller gamble.

These Spirit Stones earned him more than the blood he sold from Food Star Beasts!

Fearing the casino would reject his bet, he deliberately offered only 100 high‑quality Spirit Stones, betting on Lei Ming's victory.

Lei Ming's win was even easier. She manifested her true form, slapped the opponent with her claws, using no True Essence at all, and secured ten straight wins.

Du Yan stood still and also won ten bouts outright.

"Thank you, thank you!" he kept expressing gratitude.

The casino staff only then understood what his thanks meant!

Next comes Long Nv's battle.

During Lei Ming's fight, many people didn't recognize the Thunder Dragon Beast, so they showed no particular surprise.

But when Long Nv manifested her true form, the whole arena was shocked.

A single dragon roar from Long Nv instantly made her first opponent vomit blood and be eliminated.

She also relied on her Physical Body to win ten consecutive bouts.

The audience erupted because of Ye Liuyun and his companions.

Du Yan, of course, made a huge profit again.

And now the entire audience knew that Ye Liuyun's group were all ruthless, each having ten straight wins.

The casino even halted the betting lines for this, and after devising a strategy, reopened them.

However, the odds for Ye Liuyun and his allies became even money, while others could be as high as five to one.

Next are the battles of Yu Er, Su Miaoyin, Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, and Ru Yue.

Su Miaoyin and Ru Yue both employed rank‑senior treasures to hold ten victories, and after the match they retreated to the spectator seats to wait for Ye Liuyun and the others.

Bai Hu relied on his signature golden spear, Shi Yuan on the toughness of his Physical Body, and each won ten straight bouts.

Yu Er won ten bouts through her own strength, but her True Essence consumption was large, exceeding a quarter.

However, the people around Ye Liuyun have all cultivated Dual‑Element Pills, so Ye Liuyun estimates Yu Er can fight a few more rounds without issue and does not rush to persuade her to step down.

The impressive records of Ye Liuyun's group shocked the entire arena.

For a moment, whenever one of their members fought, the atmosphere surged, and cheers rose wave after wave.

Ye Liuyun was not swayed by the surrounding audience.

He noticed that Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang also quietly secured ten easy wins.

If not for their presence, Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang would still attract the audience's attention.

Yan Gang's expression turned very sour. The more popular Ye Liuyun's group became, the more suffocated he felt.

Many waiting in the rest area, seeing Ye Liuyun's group's dominance, silently left. With fewer people left, appearances on stage became more frequent.

Soon, Ye Liuyun took the stage again.

The audience began to anticipate again.

The casino also offered a special bet: ten‑to‑one odds, wagering whether he could win the market again consecutively.

Du Yan had already earned a lot, but he still put out 10,000 high‑grade Crystal Stones, betting that Ye Liuyun could win ten more straight bouts.

He knows Ye Liuyun's strength and temperament; even if he leans on a divine artifact, Ye Liuyun will see those ten bouts through.

In the previous five consecutive fights, Ye Liuyun won smoothly; in the sixth, a Yin‑Yang Dual‑rank Martial Cultivator appeared.

The audience hissed at that Martial Cultivator.

"Even a Yin‑Yang Triple isn't a match; how dare a Yin‑Yang Dual challenge?"

In this bout, Ye Liuyun's odds were also very low, yet all the bettors still placed their money on him.

That Martial Cultivator looked only in his thirties, with an unremarkable appearance, but was very composed, completely ignoring the crowd's remarks. He seemed neither arrogant nor impatient, exceedingly steady.

Ye Liuyun sensed that the Spatial Power in this person was also formidable.

Knowing his realm is low yet daring to challenge a dark horse like Ye Liuyun, he must have a certain Trump Card.

At least, he should be able to counter Ye Liuyun's Yi Dao.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun himself is very cautious toward this Martial Cultivator, daring not to be careless.

The opposing Martial Cultivator also remained low‑key; after stepping up, he said nothing and began to gather energy, especially as Spatial Power rose around him.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, directly used his Golden Pupil to unleash a Spiritual Soul Attack.

This time, even Yi Dao was useless.

The opposing Martial Cultivator hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to launch a Spiritual Soul Attack; he thought a Yi Dao would come instead.

He dared to fight only because he was familiar with Spatial Power and could decipher Ye Liuyun's this Yi Dao.

But his Soul is relatively weak.

Ye Liuyun's goal was to achieve fifty consecutive wins, see the City Lord, and he had no intention of dragging things out with him.

Directly pull his main Soul over and absorb it.

That Martial Cultivator could feel that Ye Liuyun was actually able to absorb both of his Souls.

Ye Liuyun obviously left him a way out; if he continued fighting, he would be acting clueless.

Then he immediately admitted defeat, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clasped his hands in thanks to Ye Liuyun, and stepped down from the stage.

The audience immediately burst into laughter, wearing an expression of "as expected".

"Spiritual Soul Attack!"

Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang saw it clearly, and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised by Ye Liuyun's strength.

They didn't expect that a Martial Cultivator who came from Xiao dao would also have such formidable strength.

But they also had no regrets about not befriending Ye Liuyun. After all, the gap in their status and position was still quite obvious.
